My first appointment with him was on 3rd Feb 2009. Pressure was 22 in both eyes.
He looked at my reports and said that he thought I had inflammatory glaucoma - the kind where someone's pressure can rise high because of imflammation in the eyes. So he said that he needs to treat the inflammation and asked me to see him in 2 weeks and to stop.. yes STOP taking the damned glaucoma drops 1 week proir to this. Awesome.. He also did a HRT eye test and my eyes look the same they did last year - so no change in that. He also said that looking at HRT report and the condition of my eyes, people like me can go on for years without taking any drops !!!!
This is awesome news. I was a bit skeptical at first but I decided to take the risk. I stopped my drops on 10th Feb 2009. My eyes did feel a bit heavy at time.. but what the hell. Whenever I got that feeling I did long swing which helps me immensely.
So I had another early morning (9.00 am) appoitment with him yesterday - 17th Feb 2009. The pressure's were 20 and 22 - which is the same as with drops :) My eyes were feeling awesome yesterday. He seemed pretty happy with what he saw and has asked me to see him in 1 month.
He also prescribed an anti-inflammatory eye drop - Xibrom - which is non-steroidal.
I will also be doing a visual field test in the next month - and meet the doctor after this.
I am so excited by all this!!!! This is the best thing that has happened to me after a long time.
My B'Day was on 8th Feb.. has GOD given me this awesome gift?? The Gift of Vision? I surely hope so.
